Album title: Aras Artist: Curandero ...on Silverwave Records SD911 Band is: Miguel Espinoza - guitar Bela Fleck - banjo Kai Eckhardt (yes, same one) - bass Ty Burhoe - tabla(s) & percussion Apparently this CD has been recently deleted, but there may be some stock about.

I suggest you all go out and buy the 'St Germain - Tourist' album. It is on Blue Note and is stunning; very much in a similar vain to first Guru Jazzmataz album. Also, anyone who doubts the low bass abillity of Sbl's should hear this album through a pair!

Some good music for warm afternoons and evenings:Air-Moon safariSt. Germain-TouristNick Cave-The boatman's callRed hot chilli peppers-CalifornicationTool-AenimaEnjoy,Rob.

If you like Little Feat, I'd recommend you go see them live - its an amazing experience, highly recommended. For one night only they are playing Ocean in London - June 11th. Highly recommended.

I took an opportunity to buy a handful of Mahler’s symphonies conducted by Maurice Abravanel and played by the Utah Symphony Orchestra on Vanguard Classics, and I must write my impressions of the music. First, of course, I need to specify the...
